OBJECTIVE 

By the end of the lesson, students should be able to express abilities or difficulties to do something

 INTRODUCCIÓN (WARM UP)

Considering the chart below, identify among your classmates who can do these activities and write their names. (Teniendo en cuenta el siguiente cuadro, identifica entre tus compañeros quiénes pueden realizar estas actividades, escribe sus nombres). Ask to your partners, can you…?

¿QUÉ VOY A APRENDER? (GRAMMAR) 

Can is a modal verb. Can is used to express ability or to say that something is possible.

Can is the same for all subjects. We don't add an 'S' in the third person (like other verbs)

The verb that comes after Can is in the infinitive without to:

 • I can speak Spanish. (= it is possible for me to speak Spanish = I have the ability to speak Spanish) 

• He can swim well. • We can see our neighbour in the garden. 

• They can play the guitar. 

Negative 

To form the negative, we add "not" after can to form one word: cannot. We can also contract the negative to form can't. (can't = cannot)

 • I cannot play the piano. We can't go to the cinema tonight.

 • She cannot speak French very well.

 He can't drive a car. 

Questions 

To from the question, we change the position of the subject and the auxiliary verb. The main verb is still in the infinitive without to.

• Where can I buy an ice-cream?

• Can I go to the party, please?

• Can you speak Japanese?

 • What can we do on Saturday?

Remember that you can use short answers:

• Can I sit here please? Yes, you can

• Can you speak Chinese? No, I can't
